DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, in accordance with the present invention, a subject regarding to a technical configuration for the object of a light emitting device package and a method of manufacturing the same and an operation effect thereof will be appreciated clearly through the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating preferable embodiments of the present invention.

First Embodiment A Structure of a Light Emitting Device Package in Accordance with a First Embodiment

A light emitting device package in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a structure of the light emitting device package in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention and FIG. 2 is a plane-view showing the structure of the light emitting device package in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting device package includes a metal core 10, an insulating layer 20 formed on the metal core 10 and a metal layer 30 formed on the insulating layer 20.

The insulating layer 20 and the metal layer 30 may be formed only on a top surface of the metal core 10, however, as shown in the drawing, be formed on both the top surface and a bottom surface of the metal core 10.

A first cavity 40 is formed to expose the top surface of the metal core 10 by removing parts of the metal layer 30 and the insulating layer 20. The first cavity 40 supplies a space for mounting a light emitting device 60 and may be formed through a processing method such as mechanical processing or etching or the like.

Herein, the metal layer 30 may have a first electrode 30 a and a second electrode 30 b electrically separated from each other on positions adjacent to the first cavity 40.

The light emitting device 60 is directly mounted on the top surface of the metal core 10 exposed by the first cavity 40.

The metal core 10 may be made of material with a high thermal conductivity, for example, a metal such as aluminum (Al) or the like.

The insulating layer 20 as an oxide film layer (Al₂O₃) may be formed through anodizing treatment on the metal core 10 made of the Al or a conventional insulating layer such as a polymer based insulating layer or the like may be formed on a surface of the metal core 10, however, it is preferable to form the oxide film layer (Al₂O₃) capable of realizing low thermal resistance by having a relatively high thermal conductivity and a thin thickness.

The Al is easily obtainable metal material at a comparatively low cost and further has a very high thermal conductivity. Further, the oxide film layer (Al₂O₃) obtained through the anodizing treatment also has the relatively high thermal conductivity of approximately 10˜30 W/mK.

Therefore, the metal core 10 can have a high heat discharging performance in comparison with a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or an MCPCB (Metal Core Printed Circuit Board) made of conventional polymer material. Moreover, a process for anodizing the Al is a comparatively easy process and reduces process cost and time.

The light emitting device 60 as a light source device for generating light such as a light emitting diode is directly mounted on the top surface of the metal core 10 to be connected.

And, the light emitting device 60 and the metal layer 30 placed on a position adjacent to the first cavity 40, for example, a first electrode 30 a may be electrically connected through a bonding wire 70.

Through the above described construction, the light emitting device 60 electrically connected to the metal core 10 and the first electrode 30 a on the insulating layer 20 is operated to discharge light outside by being applied with power through the metal core 10 and the first electrode 30 a.

That is, in the light emitting device package in accordance with the present embodiment, the light emitting device 60 has a vertical electrode structure, one electrode (not shown) of the light emitting device 60 is directly connected to the metal core 10 and the other electrode (not shown) thereof is connected to the adjacent metal layer 30 through the bonding wire 70.

Therefore, it is preferable that when the metal core has electrically (+) polarity, a portion of the metal layer 30 wire-bonded to the light emitting device 60 has electrically (−) polarity.

As described above, the light emitting device package in accordance with the present embodiment directly mounts the light emitting device 60 on the metal core 10 made of Al with the high thermal conductivity, thereby effectively discharging heat generated from the light emitting device 60 to the outside through the metal core 10.

Further, the metal core 10 is used not only as a substrate mounting the light emitting device 60 but also as one electric passage applying power to the light emitting device 60, thereby reducing a manufacturing cost by simplifying components and manufacturing processes of the light emitting device package.

At this time, on a position apart from the first cavity mounting the light emitting device 60 at a predetermined distance, a second cavity 50 is formed by removing parts of the metal layer 30 and the insulating layer 20 to expose the top surface of the metal core 10.

The second cavity 50 is an opened part to play a role of a package by electrically connecting the metal core 10 to the outside, thereby electrically connecting the device to the outside through a connector or other connection method.

A conductive layer 80 for electrical connection to the outside may be formed on the top surface of the metal core 10 in the second cavity 50. The conductive layer may be made of Au, Ag, Ni or Cu, and so on.

The conductive layer 80 may be a metal plating layer formed in a plating method or high-temperature cured metal paste.

As described above, because the light emitting device package in accordance with the first embodiment directly mounts the light emitting device 60 on top surface of the metal core 10, a heat discharging performance thereof is improved to be applicable to a high heat generating device and further an entire structure and a manufacturing process thereof are simplified to reduce a cost.

Herein, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a structure of the light emitting device package including a cap in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 a is a plan-view showing the structure of the light emitting device package including grooves for fixing the cap in FIG. 3, and FIG. 4 b is a view showing an example of the cap.

In the light emitting device package in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a cap 200 may be formed on an upper part of the first cavity 40 mounting the light emitting device 60.

The cap 200 may be a protection cap for protecting the light emitting device 60 or a lens.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4 a, on positions adjacent to the first cavity 40 mounting the light emitting device 60, grooves 100 are further formed by removing parts of the metal layer 30 and the insulating layer 20 to expose the top surface of the metal core 10.

The grooves 100 are to easily array and fix a position of the cap 200 and the present invention is not limited to the number and the positions of the grooves 100.

And, as shown in FIG. 4 b, protrusions 210 formed on a circumferential portion of the cap 200 are inserted into the grooves 100 and the cap 200 can be coupled to the upper part of the first cavity 40.

As described above, when forming the cap 200 on the upper part of the light emitting device 60, it is possible to easily array a position of the cap 200 and also stably fix not to move the cap 200 by forming the grooves 100 to expose the metal core 10 and inserting the protrusions 210 formed on the circumferential portion of the cap 200 into the grooves 100.

The third cavity 45 is preferably formed on a position corresponding to the first cavity to expose the top surface of the metal core 10.

In accordance with the modified embodiment of the first embodiment, the light emitting device package is capable of preventing warpage or deformation of the metal core 10 through the third cavity 45 formed on the position vertically corresponding to the first cavity 40 as well as obtaining the same operation and effect as those of the light emitting device package in accordance with the first embodiment.
